Tried airline company (LCC) I tried moving cheaply to Tokyo using Jetstar Japan

On July 3rd the "cheap airline company"Jetstar Japan"Made the domestic flight service. I planned to go to Tokyo so I tried using it. It is Narita (Chiba) that descends. The airplane has already been delayed at the time of check-in and even if you have completed the boarding procedure, you can go ahead and get a long line. Someone sitting in my seat, I became friends with the moving young man. I just had a fun, and I got a pretty impressive impression. Still 180 seats are full. Low price tickets are attractive.

Hello,Takuya Sudo @ circle around the world bicycle @ Charridermanis. Since I have something to do, I came to Tokyo. As a way to go from Tokyo's local Fukuoka to Tokyo, I was thinking "high speed bus" vaguely in my mind. However, it seems a little bit tight for 12 hours at night. So if you were looking for a cheap ticket, I found a jet star. I searched the flight on 7th July on July 3, I found a ticket of 14,90 yen.

Make sure there is vacancy at Jetstar's site.


As I made the reservation, I got stuck in selecting the seat. There was absolutely no need to designate a seat.


You can also specify seats at this extra cost as such ... ...


You can skip seat assignment without paying. Because there was little explanation, I was slightly puzzled.


Proceed with the procedure ......


I paid by credit card. A fee of 200 yen will be charged for paying Visa card. Tickets were 1,490 yen, 11,000 yen was withdrawn together with 1,000 yen for checked baggage 20 kg.


◆ On the flight day

I leave home and head for Fukuoka airport. I will take the subway.


The end point of the subway is Fukuoka airport. When I go to the ground, it is at the airport soon.


Information on the flight near the subway ticket gate. Jetstar was late at this point.


The signboard seen from Fukuoka Airport is "local mother of immediate noodles" "Mentaiko no yamaya" "seasoning dai show" and local company.


At the airport, I operated such a machine and got my own boarding pass.


Check the reservation number with the e-mail sent at the time of reservation and enter.


I got a seal on my boarding pass and checked baggage. After that I will deposit checked baggage in a row. Up to 10 kg within the prescribed size could be brought into the plane free of charge, but this time it seems to be heavy, so I paid the fee when I booked on the internet. 1000 yen will be added at 20 kg for checked baggage. The fee will be different if you decide to leave your luggage on the same day, so you should think firmly in advance.


Sorry to let you know the information before entering the departure lobby.


The boarding procedure began late than scheduled. Read the boarding pass barcode. If I thought that I should get on the airplane at once, the line will not advance at all. As it gets in the way, it is said that "Please move closer to the right side and line up in line." People riding next to another plane went by.


Several male flight attendants worked on the plane. It has been fresh since I only saw women's cabin attendants. Let's take a look at the cabin attendant's nameplate if you get on a jet star. Somehow it is written under the name like "Miyuki" "Yuusuke".

An airplane flying over the Izu area.


Cover of in-flight magazine is Becky of talent. Becky is talking about the charm of the trip, there were sightseeing information of cities which are going to be in service from Sapporo, Tokyo, Osaka, Fukuoka, Naha and now.


Advertisement of Aussie Beef in in-flight magazines. Jetstar is a subsidiary of Australia's flag carrier "Qantas".


There are flights around Asia centering on Australia.


Menu for in-flight meals is charged.


200 yen for can juice, 150 yen for sweets.


There are snacks such as rice balls and lunch boxes.


A pocket that was not at the feet but at the height of the line of sight.


This flight was the window side of the 30th row which is the last. There are three seats with one row across the aisle. In the announcement, it was that the seats of 180 seats in 2 rows × 3 seats × 30 columns were full. However, the next young man said, "When I went to my seat number, someone was sitting there." It seems that one seat number was issued to two people. That's why he was guided by the vacant seat next to him.

Arrived at the airport terminal at 18:23. The original arrival time was 17:25. I landed on the bus from the landing to the terminal. Even though I considered that time, it was still arrived late. It seems better to have a schedule with a little margin.


Jetstar's advertisement that has also jumped in at Narita airport too.


At the end of MayFlight using LCC that came back from Cape TownIt was a little disappointing because of the smooth progress of the flight. As the airplane was late, there was a feeling that it was banging all the time. There are parts that are not familiar to you, so let's expect it in the future.

Not limited to this "Jetstar", "Peach" which came in spring, "Air Asia" in August is scheduled to be in service, this year is said to be the first year of cheap airline company this year. I would be happy if the airplane becomes a convenient way of traveling like this. It will make it easier to travel even in the distant place.
